Four persons, including three minors, died in an early morning fire that gutted their Lot 2 Drysdale Street, Charlestown home.
The dead persons are 23-year-old Abiola Taylor and her son, four-year-old Justin Taylor. Also killed were one-year-old Akisha Curdis and Kalesha Solomon, 3.
A distraught Ulander Cort, mother of Akisha and Kalesha was also injured in the blaze and was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Residents said that by the time they realized the house was on fire, flames had already engulfed the front part of the house. They said it was difficult to access the home due to the safety grills.
